Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who is the NCACC?	A: The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) is one of the most successful and active statewide local government associations in the nation. The NCACC was established in 1908 and works for the betterment of county government in North Carolina. All 100 counties are members of the Association and are eligible to join the County Health Plan. If all 100 counties were members, more than 61,000 employees would be covered by the plan.
Q: Why is the NCACC creating the County Health Plan?	A: In December 2005, the NCACC Risk Management Pools’ Board of Trustees opted for a new service delivery model for its Group Benefits Pool and created the County Health Plan. Responding to requests for more flexible plans, the NCACC unbundled the various service components of its Group Benefits Pool. CIGNA HealthCare, Inc. was selected to provide claims administration and its suite of award-winning disease management services to the NCACC Group Benefits Pool, and CVS/Caremark was chosen to serve as the pharmacy benefits manager. These changes were effective July 1, 2006. Initially, the County Health Plan will utilize the established provider network from CIGNA, but CAPE will allow the County Health Plan to add even more providers to the network.
